Santa Claus has a big job to do on Christmas Eve, and he needs a team to help with the sleigh. He tries out a myriad of thirteen different kinds of animals, including tigers (but they almost eat him), mice (too weak), kangaroos (too jumpy), turtles (too slow), cheetahs (too fast), rhinos (too rough), and even monkeys (too playful). But what Perfect! This humorous peek behind the scenes at the North Pole is told in Jerry Pallotta`s kid-friendly style and beautifully illustrated in glorious color by David Biedrzycki.
